Outstanding piece: thorough, clear -- esp. last 3 para. Thank you.

Great piece, Lisa. While so many of us like the decision against Trump, detailing how SCOTUS got there is equally important 🙏🙏🙏

If the "doctrine of big questions" provides Congressional guidance for crafting bills that provide clarity, remedy, and consequences for deviating from the language of a law, isn't it a bit ironic that the current SCOTUS ruling provides no guidance on tariff refunds? Especially since the topic came up in arguments? Just a couple of sentences regarding the record keeping of tariffs, the holding agency, and how typical (tax) refunds are performed for individuals and businesses every year would have been sufficient rather than letting the pearl clutching continue about "oh, we cannot figure out how to refund this money" -- Those refunds should be immediately available to businesses -- quickly, easily, without a lot of paperwork, and without costly legal guidance necessary. Too much to hope for?

Another example of how SCOTUS is desperate to support daddy - an offering of nubile virgins not available - as bestest they can … with delay and little actual guidance.

Another reason I'm still mad that Biden didn't pack the court when he should have.

More political theater from the Supreme Court. I thought Justice Kagan was on the side of the people. They have been planning this coup for decades. Peter Thiel flew on Epstein’s plane with Russell Vought. Look at Former Prince Andrew’s text to Jeffrey Epstein on 6/19/2010. Ellie Leonard has been posting his email exchanges. This one is in Part 2. 😡

Thank you Lisa and Public Notice! The SCOTUS is officially a kangaroo court. Got it.😞

If we have an actual election in 28 and we manage to keep Republicans from stealing the government again, the entire judiciary needs to be purged of Republican judges, starting with the illegitimate federalist society hacks on the supreme court.

Ah, apparently SCOTUS - at least the conservatives therein - have freely adopted Trump’s language of pettiness and personal grievance into their vaunted discourse.

When Democrats control the House and the Senate they may want to consider modifying statutes, and creating new statutes that follow the example of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). For example, IRC §1502 authorizes the Treasury Secretary to prescribe regulations for the filing of consolidated corporate tax returns. All of the rules to do this are pretty much in the regulations, not in the couple of statutes governing these returns. Taxpayers can contest the specifics in a regulation, but they have an uphill battle in the courts.
